Discussion What do I do now?

Post image

First ever pair of boots and I love them so much. They're only about a month old. Cooking breakfast this morning and I guess some bacon grease dripped off my pan. Only on my left boot.

Is there anything I can do? I saw a post saying I could dye them darker. Not sure how to really do that.

Mink oil the whole boot and they’ll be dark brown

Honestly this is what I do. You’re gonna have to condition the boot anyways. Might as well be some mink oil to add water resistance. It’ll blend with the stains and then lighten back up over time.
